This book is really beneficial for individual positive behavior assessment plans. It includes PTR terms, case examples, family interaction tips, goal setting strategies, providing basic and simple data techniques and assessment and interventions. At the end, you will find classroom practices/interventions for P(prevent), T(teach), and R(reinforce). As a teacher and educator, I will definitely use these plans and data collection. As a parent, I think some of strategies can be useful at home, as well!
